Nuckolls County has received another membership dividend, this time in the amount of $9,593, from the Nebraska Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (NIRMA), the county’s property, liability and workers’ compensation coverage and risk management services provider. The dividend was part of a $1 million distribution shared with 81 Nebraska counties and eight county-associated agencies.

With this latest distribution, Nuckolls County has now received a total of $297,497 in dividends since becoming a member of NIRMA in 1988.

NIRMA is member-owned and governed by the 83 counties and 22 county-associated public entities it serves. This marks the 33rd time since 1991 and the 25th consecutive year the program has been able to return funds, now totaling $23 million, to its members and ultimately their local property taxpayers.

NIRMA was created by 32 counties in 1988 as the state’s first governmental risk management and self-insurance program, and for 32 years has provided insurance coverages and comprehensive risk management and loss prevention services to Nebraska counties and related public agencies.
